James Agalga says lawmakers never took money for passing the National Signals Bureau Act. He responded Sunday after claims that GH¢960,000 went to committee members as bribes. The Defense Committee chair called these accusations false because the agency did not exist before the law was passed. Committee leaders worked directly with National Security Minister Kan Dapaah during the bill process. The Bureau came into being only after lawmakers approved the legislation.
Agalga states he first met Adu Boahene almost a year later when he appeared as the new Bureau director. The former Bureau chief could not have paid money from accounts of an organization that had not been created. Agalga emphasized that all legislative work happened through proper channels. The Minister introduced Adu Boahene around April 2021, long after the law was passed. Parliament members handled the entire process with transparency, according to Agalga.
